About the Role

As a Senior or Principal Full Stack Software Engineer in Agent Factory, you’ll help build the user-facing and platform experiences that bring Workday’s AI agents to life.

• Own services and experiences from development through production—you build it, you run it

• Collaborate in an iterative, team-first environment that values strong engineering practices and continuous learning

• Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and help raise the technical bar across the pod
